AMRUT- Six Month Haiti Anniversary Report

AMURT’s mission is to help improve the quality of life for the poor and disadvantaged people of the world, and to assist those
affected by calamity and conflict. We believe that the best assistance is that which encourages and enables all people to develop
themselves. Hence we help individuals and communities to harness their own resources for securing the basic necessities of life
and for gaining greater economic, social and spiritual fulfillment, while respecting their customs, language, and religious beliefs.
